Human Rights

PSAC strongly believes that persons with disabilities should be able to fully and equitably participate in all aspects of Canadian society.

On behalf of PSAC Prairies, we ask that you join us by participating on Orange Shirt Day on Sunday, September 30 to commemorate the Every Child Matters campaign. Because 2018 Orange Shirt Day falls on Sunday, you are welcome to organize your events for a nearby date that suits your community.

The Education in Action project, supported by the PSAC Social Justice Fund, engages members and other Canadians to deepen their understanding of Guatemala and to build solidarity with Mayan communities.
